With the help of a Kipon Nikon F-mount to Fujifilm X-mount tilt-shift adaptor and a Nikon 35mm f/2 lens, I’m pleased to report that I now have a tilt-shift rig roughly equivalent to the Canon 45mm TS-E I used to own and love.
Losing the ability to tilt and shift was a given when I traded Canon for Fujifilm, and I’d made peace with it. But I’m glad it’s an option again, even if it’s a bit clunky looking.
Here’s the first (only!) frame I’ve captured with it so far, straight out of camera (full tilt, lens wide open). Nothing earth shattering, but the effect is more than strong enough to do some interesting work with, methinks.
@timangerphoto posted some boring output up on the blog. It definitely works :) http://t.co/sTkNn2ZIWo

@lkrms Looks good. Let us know when there’s more
f/2? Should be very close indeed to the DOF of the old one. And probably sharper. :)
